Laeron Marshstep

Laeron is a true gentle giant. Despite his hulking stature, he only wants to protect his community. Even towards suspicious strangers, he tends not to become hostile, preferring to remain optimistic for as long as possible. That said, he has recently been learning to fight, and he will take action if it proves necessary. Unable to give up the wetlands he once called home, he now patrols the area around the enclave, making sure no one gets too close without his careful eye on them. He's overly aware of how intimidating he can come across, and is careful not to make requests that might come across as demands.

Laeron grew up in the marshes at the base of the Northern mountains. It was a simple existence when he was young, distant from the cities in the plains and along the coast. However, when he reached his late teen years, the Alliance came recruiting, and caused a rift in the community. There were those who wanted to embrace the technological advancements of the Alliance, and those who wanted to protect the Old Gods at any cost. As the conflict grew worse, the community fell apart, and Laeron moved with the traditional half of them to the mage enclave in the mountains.
